Cops across metro Atlanta, Georgia cracking down on speeding this week

Police across Georgia are participating in #OperationSouthernShield, an anti-speeding campaign running through Sunday in five Southeastern states.

Georgia State Patrol said it is implementing heightened speeding enforcement across the state. County police in Gwinnett and Cobb are also participating, as are Decatur officers. DeKalb and Atlanta police didn’t immediately say if they were taking part, though GSP also patrols interstates in those jurisdictions in addition to local cops.
